Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a female power connector for connecting to a power cable. The power connector is designed to couple a male surface connector to a downhole pumping system. The power connector has a substantially cylindrical piece of pre-molded insulating material, a substantially tubular bushing designed to engage a coupling nut, a coupling nut for engaging a surface connector, and a sleeve. The cylindrical piece has a longitudinal axis, an outside surface defining an outside diameter, a first end, a second end, and a means for creating a fluid tight barrier adjacent to the second end. The cylindrical piece further defines a plurality of substantially circular cavities extending from the first end to the second end parallel to the longitudinal axis. Each channel has an inside surface defining an inside diameter. The bushing engages the coupling nut and the sleeve when the secondary molding is in place.
